Paris-La Joconde

 
DaVinci Code

Possibly one of the most famous paintings in the world, the portrait of the Mona Lisa is referred to as simply the Mona Lisa, La Joconde, or La Gioconda. It hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France and was   visited by me today.

An Army of One

Could Macbeth  have been written by a committee, a group of people who individually can do nothing, but who, as a group, can meet and decide that nothing can be done or the Mona Lisa painted by a club, because Leornardo would have refused to join any club that would have him as a member.

Creative ideas do not spring from crowds. They spring from individuals. The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam.
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
Leonardo da Vinci
